A grapheneos community member is just a random person

A random person that is mentioned specifically by the official GrapheneOS account, not to mention that GrapheneOS has said Accrescent is their recommended app store above F-Droid. Maybe Accrescent dev is not a GrapheneOS core dev, but still a step up, with more credibility, than just "a random person."

True. I pushed them when they published the first build. I like it yet it's not as open as an app store should be like fdroid or flatpak

The main thing they have going against them is the currently small list of apps, and it won't grow unless people become aware of it and ask devs to put their apps there.

As for "not as open," can you clarify what you mean? Yes, Accrescent does have "certain minimum requirements for all apps submitted to it to ensure the privacy and security of its users." Is that what you mean,to loosen that? https://accrescent.app/docs/guide/appendix/requirements.html

There's no other repos. It's not federated, it's not decentral. It's like google's store but from someone who's endorsed by grapheneos. Maybe it'll become the official grapheneos app store. (Its just a random thought) in that case it'll get graoheneos' reputation but still, there's a reason why many people love fdroid and with the rise of reproducible builds it'll become difficult to conquer their castle
